I need to know how to download Microsoft Update's to a
networked directory, so I can distribute them to all
workstations, without them having to download them
individually on each workstation. There are so many
updates being sent out, it's taking too much time and
resources to have each workstation doing their own.
Can someone give sent me the instruction on how to do
this?
Thank you,
Steve
 
You can set up a SUS server and push the updates out through a GPO. There
are tons of resources regarding this on the web. Google it.
